But that's a bit of an inside joke stemming from a former poster.. SS2K put it there so maybe ask him. Is there a reason you're acting like such a child..?

OK.. this is just toooo weird.. http://www.ktvu.com/news/4358709/detail.html Woman In Wendy's Chili Case Decides Not To Sue POSTED: 6:58 pm PDT April 7, 2005 UPDATED: 12:11 pm PDT April 13, 2005 LAS VEGAS -- A woman who claimed she scooped up a human finger in her chili at a Wendy's restaurant has decided not to sue the fast-food chain. Video Video On Demand: Lloyd LaCuesta On New Developments In Wendy's Chili Investigation Anna Ayala dropped her claim because it "has caused her great emotional distress and continues to be difficult emotionally," said her attorney, Jeffrey Janoff. Ayala, 39, claimed she found the 11/2-inch long fingertip on March 22 while dining at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose. She later filed a claim with the franchise owner, Fresno-based JEM Management Corp., which her attorney had said was the first step before filing a lawsuit. Court records show Ayala has a history of making legal claims against corporations, including a former employer, General Motors and a fast-food restaurant. She acknowledged she received a settlement for medical costs several years ago after claiming that her daughter was sickened after eating at a Las Vegas restaurant. Phone calls to Ayala's house in Las Vegas went unanswered Tuesday. Investigators searched her home last week as part of their probe into how a finger ended up in the chili. San Jose police say they're investigating a possible connection between the finger and the owner of several exotic animals at Pahrump, Nev., who lost one of her fingers in a leopard attack on Feb. 23. The San Jose Mercury-News said the finger would not be reattached and was returned to the woman, Sandy Allman. She has an unlisted number and could not be reached by The Associated Press for comment. Wendy's spokesman Denny Lynch declined to comment on Ayala's decision to drop the lawsuit but said a reward hot line to receive tips will remain open. Wendy's has offered $50,000 to the first person who can provide verifiable information that identifies the origin of the finger. "It's very important to us to find out what really happened at the restaurant," Lynch said. "We will continue to fully cooperate with the police investigation." Wendy's maintains the finger did not come from any of its ingredients. None of the employees at the San Jose store had lost any fingers, and no suppliers of Wendy's ingredients reported any hand or finger injuries, the company said. The Santa Clara County coroner's office used a partial fingerprint to search for a match in an electronic database but came up empty. DNA testing is still being conducted on the finger.

Never heard of it.. is it like StubHub or ebay?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 04:31 PM) Gee, thanks for "correcting" me, Queen Steff. You're such a swell gal. :rolly To correct you, again... I'm not the Queen around here..

Hey.. there's my car!! It's not blue no more.. wonder how old that is.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) But you made a conscious decision to reply to MY post, not to "just hit reply and post an opinion." That's why the assumptions were made. Ahh.. so you know what was going on in my brain.. cool. Nevertheless.. you've been corrected.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) OK, fair enough. That doesn't explain why you made that comment in direct response to one of my posts, but whatever. I made the same comment in response to QP's comment.. it was a general comment and an opinion. It's not always about you BH... sometime people just hit reply and post an opinion.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Well, you are nuts but that is beside the point. I think you are right on the contract numbers though. He shoots.. he scores!!

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) And the obvious implication is that your choice to not throw the f-bomb at a poor excuse for a human being is somehow "better" than the response that some of us have made to the news of Ms. Dworkin's death. I could be wrong, but I don't see any other reason for the latter half of your comment. No.. I don't think anyone's usage of the word indicates they are any better or worse than anyone else. If language usage was an indication of intelligence around here.. I imagine those with stock in Pampers would be much richer than they already are. Quite frankly.. I don't care what anyone else does. It's something I would not do. Which is why I said... "Men rape women but I don't call them all rapists and say "eff you" when they die."

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Looks like i'll have to step my game up. Tell her to "bring it on sister" I'll pass that along..

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:36 PM) Steff just make sure there's enough beer for me before you go spend a bunch on a wedding dress. Priorities, priorities... /joking I'll probly just drink juice boxes with Destiny. Juice boxes...?? She's up to the hard core Root Beer these days..

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:35 PM) No, it's the second time today that I've dealt with an unsolicited, condescending remark about something that I said. Care to explain that comment? Pretty self explinatory.. but sure... Men rape women but I don't call them all rapists and say "eff you" when they die. Pretty straight forward description of my reaction when a man who is not a rapist dies.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:30 PM) What are you going to do show up at parties and be like hey everyone....no cup for me...I brought my stein from Jims wedding in 97. LMAO!!

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) In the past, Brian has gotten mugs (usually personalized) as gifts. But I agree with you though. For my girls I am getting them scarfs/shawls for with the dress, paying for the makeup (hair is a gift from a friend of mine to me) and a few trinkets. I got the girls massages, and picture frames with our names on them to put a picture from the wedding in.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) I thought I did something original. We all went to Vegas for my bachelor party and had a group photo taken there. I had that blown up and framed and ave them that. Cheap, but cool. That's a great gift..

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) Well, then I guess you're just a better human being than us. Give yourself a big pat on the back. :rolly That's the second time today you've given your own meaning to someone's words and made some stupid ass assumption. If you don't understand what someone means, ask.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:16 PM) Groomsmens gifts are the worst to get....How many moneyclips/flasks/pens does a guy need. It's the same gifts for every wedding..... Don't forget business card holders, and beer mugs We got Jim's guys gift certs for a round of golf. Something they will definitely use.

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) You both are all screwed up. Look at the original post, Steff. That's what we was about. You must've missed that. I saw it, but I misinterpreted it as it looks to me like he went to a microsoft help page versus using the excel help. No big deal.. Other than him thinking I was calling him an idiot.. :headshake

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) and to the guy who said days go slow without games.. Completely AGREED. Yesterday i got home from skool slept til 7 went outside til 8 did nothing til 11pm went to bed til 6am then went skool lolol Girl..

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) Steff, I understand that you're trying to look intellectually superior here. I'm not idiot. Of course I used the "help" feature. The problem being, you have to know correct wording to get the desired results. I didn't know that it was called "freeze panes" and without those keywords, help is f***ing useless. Thanks for your "help" though. Actually no I wasn't. Your post implied, to me, you didn't know there was a tab within Excel but went to a microsoft website to obtain help. Excuse me as the last thing I want to do is try to look intellectually anything around here... :rolly

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) And you're still marrying him? Sorry, couldn't resist! LMAO!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) I like, it's very classy and elegant.....as a wedding gown should be. What color are the bridesmaids wearing? Simply put.. a shade of blue. It's got some fancy name.. but I can't remember it. They bought off the rack at Nordstroms which ironically saved time and $$. More $$ to buy gifts.. LOL

QUOTE(mreye @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:34 PM) I had some smart-assed comment, but then I saw the dress. Very nice, indeed. LMAO... no sense in holding back since I'm in a good mood today.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 13, 2005 -> 02:33 PM) Nah. Everyone knows you're a backstabbing b****. What better way to say it than with a wedding dress? Just the cowards and followers who haven't learned to use their own brains yet..
